the mayor wants to change this city's top cop is deliberate superintendent gary mccarthy shifted some commanders continue hotspot areas around the country hoping to address growing- violence. overall crime is down 30% this year but homicides are approaching 500 a staggering number the mayor is frustrated that while one statistic seems to improve the other indicates that problems are worsening. this has to do with getting the best people in the most difficult places. like the city's ninth district neighborhoods like in maryville bridgeport now both have the largest increase in shootings during 2012 residents there need help desperately so

superintendent gary mccarthy went from tv station to a tv station today and he said he believes it starts with leadership and hopes it will work because overall crime may be down by 30 percent in chicago but homicides are up. he recently ran the department's gang investigation division and recently he got the task of tackling the ninth 27 years of experience he is focusing on 12 ginks' specifically he is going back to the basics in t is excited about it. >> i plan to utilize the context i have made with different federal entities and i have some friends over there in organized crime and i plan to try to tap into anything we can to pass this down and to make a

safer place homicides have been on the rise all year. the future will be handled it differently from here on out. the police are going to treat to gain funerals as a gang of bandits. we have more officers per capita than any large city in this country more than new york, los angeles philadelphia so it's not how many you have, it's what they do. >> what they will be doing with those hundreds of different officers was not shared with us today. gary mccarthy has placed 19 of the 23 police commanders since he took off one and a half years ago. families are suing an

arlington heights nursing home because of what they say was found in a patient's ear. they discovered 57 maggots in this 92 year-old era the lawsuit for distress in negligence claims that if she would have been given her eardrops then they would have seen the maggots much sooner. mccann is an alzheimer's patient and she has been moved to another home. coming up, 27 days ago and still no agreements for the fiscal crisis but tonight small signs of progress.

and house speaker john maynard discuss and the fiscal cliff and president barack obama suppresses his case today for a tax hike to help reduce the deficit. we are not insisting on rates just out of spite or any kind of partisan victory but rather because we need to raise a certain amount of revenue. >> and he made that pitch to several wealthy ceos he wants to raise taxes on the top 2 percent of income earners and he believes this will help raise the government's 16 trillion dollar debt coupled with spending cuts but the republican

controlled house says the president has not responded to their latest proposal. >> i think we made a good-faith offer to avert the fiscal crisis and that offer included significant spending cuts and reforms and it included additional revenue and frankly it was the balanced approach mr. president has been asking for. erick kanter announced today there will be no adjournment into a credible solution to the fiscal cliff is found. >> house lawmakers proposed a bill today they claim will bring the costs under control and provide a safe retirement, it creates two groups of public employees those hired before 2011 and those hired since then and for those hired before 2011 there receive their cost-of-

living increases only applied to the first $25,000 of their pension and they will have to contribute more up to 2%. and it is now up to lawmakers to approve a measure that will allow undocumented immigrants in illinois to receive temporary drivers licenses, state senators passed a bill yesterday but there's one immigrants' rights group against the legislation they delivered a governorletter to governor clinton. individuals who don't have social security numbers should be able to get a regular drivers license into not a special kind. they say it might force discrimination upon

meteorologist into one of our formformer intern's relayed kathy's pitcher to us. photograph to us. look at the highs today and the change from early in the week when we were up flirting with 70. midway down 30 degrees. and nearly that amount at all aurora and a valparaiso. aurora and valparaiso.

see the demarcation between the cold air into the warmer air out to the west. tomorrow may be 10 degrees above normal we have an

interesting weather pattern this thing is the first of two precipitation making systems it's the one that spreads up with clouds and some rain. look snow may come down all the way from the dakotas through minneapolis and green bay did you know that only about 7% of the country has a snow cover on it rate now that is like a quarter of what the average has been for the past 10 years last

year we had 30 percent of the country covered with snow. on the other hand we were in the 20s this morning across the metro area every time you see this big buckle in the jet stream it sends cold air diving into the midwest and you can develop some real trouble along that contrast zone. the heaviest

snow would fall just north of us and would come down sunday night and monday the wii open the week next week with some snow. tonight increasing cloudiness into not quite as cold, 31-35. tomorrow night's low won't get below 41. still ahead this situation in syria growing dire as reports surfaced that they

reporting that syria has loaded nerve gas agents as rebels closed in, their military is awaiting the order for the president to use those weapons on its own citizens, secretary of state clinton today repeated its reprisal if he does rebel forces say they surrounded an air base just 2 1/2 miles outside the capital he has reportedly contacted several south american countries about possible asylums for him and his family. joining us now is our terrorism analyst. what would this mean for u.s. policy in that region? monday said if that happens syria would be held accountable for an attack like this. >> the white house made clear it would be kind of a red line that the syrians dare not cross and i think it would be very hard for the russians to suspend the

president's regime and i think it is a sign that he is in fact losing this war. well with the u.s. do? i think the only way to prevent it would be some sort of a quarantine or a no-fly zone such as we did over libya and no-fly zone requires you to go in and take up the air defense system and air to air combat capabilities so it would require aggressive military action but i think that this is serious enough to warrant that the president's father leveled the city of hama in 1982 and used cyanide gas even then. any idea of when this can be expected? >> reports are vague and of

course intelligence reports always are it could mean anything from that they're sending out a warning whether they are about to do it but it certainly is a serious escalation of violence. i think that probably would be the best solution to the problem that opportunity was operantoffered to moammar gadhafi's who exactly would take him i am not sure getting him out of the region may be a solution and of course the huge worry is what comes next revolutions have a bad habit of beating their young.
